“Sherlock [season] four—here we go again!” they began in a press release. “Whatever else we do, wherever we all go, all roads lead back to Baker Street—and it always feels like coming home. Ghosts of the past are rising in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson bringing adventure, romance and terror in their wake.”

They concluded: “This is the story we’ve been telling from the beginning. A story about to reach its climax...”

The last we saw of Holmes and Watson they were in the midst of solving the apparent resurrection of their arch rival Moriarty, played by Andrew Scott.

Unfortunately, it looks like fans will have to wait until 2017 for the fourth—and possibly final—season of Sherlock . A special episode, set in Victorian era London, aired on January 1.
